What Our Lord Wants
How are we to account for Jesus' wi1lingness, nay, anxiety, to be thus received by sinful men? It is because in thus communicating Himself to us, He makes us more like to what He Himself is, and what He desires us to be. The Precious Blood imparts to our souls all heavenly gifts and graces if we receive it as we ought. O Jesus! grant that I may receive Thee frequently, fervently, with complete oblation of my whole self.
-Father Clarke, S.J.
